Handy" To: freebsd-current@freebsd.org Subject: Fixit Floppy Broken? Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi again, I have a broken 2.2-960323-SNAP machine right now. The owner managed to delete libc.so.3.0 from /usr/lib so things quickly deteriorated to where his machine wasn't working anymore! I had hoped we could fix this with the fixit floppy, but I'm having bad luck with these. The fixit floppy seems broken. I can boot from it once, but never really get anywhere. If I try booting with it again it doesn't work. I complained earlier about 'ls' not working on the floppy drive...but I haven't heard anything back on this. Anyway, I think my only alternative is to use the boot floppy to do a custom sysinstall and re-install the libraries. Bottom line: IS the fixit floppy currently broken, and is this probably the best way for me to fix this problem? Thanks, Brian
